y appointing Major George E. Tuttle
cf Spokane to the commission in place
cf J. K. McCormack of Spokane, who
was unable to serve on the commission.

day expressed great dissatisfaction at
the results of the conference concern
ing fisheries interests of the two states.
In consequence, it is said, steps prob

pact between the two states regulating
fishing on the Columbia river. xne
Oregon committee, it was explained,
opposes any measure confining fish
ing rights to American citizens and
tnr change in the laws which would
compel fishermen to meet expenses of
the state fish and game department.
5"he present law. said the Washington
conferees, enables the largest part of
Xish caught in the Columbia to escape
